Fundamental Resources and Values
Park Significance- 1. The convergence of the San Andreas Fault Zone, San Francisco Bay at the Golden Gate, and the California coastline that creates a dynamic landscape and environment of exceptional scientific value. Fundamental Resources and Values 1.1 Geologic Resources – The national recreation area’s geologic resources include faults, plate margins and a subduction zone; a wide diversity of rock types and deposits representing more than one hundred million years of the Earth’s history; and the complex geologic processes that continue to shape the landscape. Analysis of Fundamental Resources and Values 1.1 Geologic Resources – The national recreation area’s geologic resources include faults, plate margins and a subduction zone; a wide diversity of rock types and deposits representing more than one hundred million years of the Earth’s history; and the complex geologic processes that continue to shape the landscape. Importance of the Resources and Values The San Francisco Bay region straddles the boundary zone between two of the Earth’s major tectonic plates. The Pacific Plate is slowly moving northward relative to the North American Plate along the San Andreas Fault Zone. Sea floor spreading in the middle of the Pacific Plate has pushed the edge of that plate under the North American Plate, creating a subduction zone. The San Andreas Fault, which extends most of the length of California, defines many of the major recognizable landforms in the park. The fault zone in GGNRA is evident along Tomales Bay, the Olema Valley and Bolinas Lagoon in Marin County, then extends offshore and makes landfall again at Fort Funston in San Francisco and is highlighted to the south by the lakes and reservoirs within San Francisco Watershed lands in San Mateo County.

For additional information, contact: Deborah Maxwell Center Director Western Ecological Research Center U.S. Geological Survey 3020 State University Drive East Modoc Hall, Room 3006 Sacramento, California 95819 iii ABSTRACT Dune scrub communities have been altered by urbanization, human disturbance, and the introduction of non-native species. Small fragments of native dune vegetation may conserve locally threatened plant and animal species within urban landscapes. The effect of restoring natural dune vegetation on wildlife abundance and diversity was measured at Fort Funston, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, San Francisco, California in 2001 and 2002. Data were collected on wildlife and vegetation in four habitat areas, including a 9.3-hectare restored area where visitor use was restricted, two unrestored areas approximately 4-hectares in size where visitor use was restricted, and a 6.8-hectare area where visitor use was unrestricted.

Native Americans found shelter and an excellent food source here, and later, ships discovered a safe harbor during bad weather. Horseshoe Cove played an important role in the San Francisco military defense system and today provides a quiet refuge from the busy San Francisco Bay’s busy water traffic.
